Blow to RUTO and RAILA as ATWOLI calls for a referendum before 2022 to extend UHURU’s rule! Go for a third term in 2022

Thursday August 16, 2018 - Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary
General, Francis Atwoli, has called for a Constitutional referendum to extend
Uhuru Kenyatta's presidency beyond 2022 when his term is expected to end as
stipulated in the 2010 Constitution.

According
to Atwoli, Uhuru is still the best man to lead Kenya even after 2022 and there
is need to accord him more time to fight corruption and impunity.

Speaking
when he appeared on Jeff Koinange Live that airs on Citizen
TV, Atwoli said Uhuru was doing everything right so far, especially on the
anti-graft war and therefore there would be no need to replace him in four
years’ time.

"President
Uhuru Kenyatta is now where we wanted him to be.”

“Come
2022, if he will not have accomplished his mission of 'cleaning up' the
country, we will go into a referendum to give him another term," Atwoli
said.

If
Atwoli’s prayer is granted and Uhuru has an extended stint at the Presidency,
it would be a big blow to his Deputy, William Ruto, and NASA leader, Raila
Odinga, who are angling to succeed him in 2022.
